I don't blame Ronda, she seemed like a good sport (although I did notice she seemed nervous at points and talked abnormally fast), but the writing was mostly a miss with me. There were a few sketches though that definitely got a few laughs out of me, including this one called "Screen Guild Awards" which satirizes the Oscar nominations recently announced.

The film about King George VI overcoming his stutter also garnered a Best Actor statue for Colin Firth and a Best Director win for Tom Hooper.

"King"'s four statuettes tied "Inception," which also nabbed four awards in technical categories, for the most Oscars.

Oscar favorite Natalie Portman also took home the Best Actress statuette for her role in "Black Swan," and Melissa Leo and Christian Bale of "The Fighter" cleaned up in the supporting role categories.

Practice, practice, practice. Before the acting nominees reach the A-list of the film industry, they have to pay their dues by taking any role they can get.

Below are five actors who are nominated for serious roles this year, but began their careers in seriously goofy films.
